I like the way it looks ... but then I dont know where it is to be used... maybe you need to look at where it will end up then you can decide if it needs "something more " xx or ask your mum as she is the one who will be living with it xx

I think you`ve done a fab job - funnily enough I made one of those blocks today for a bee! I think a bright scrappy binding would be lovely. But you know what? Your mum will just love it because you made it...and it`s gorgeous.

The stars are swimming by themselves. So the two solutions that I have read outlining - not enough room for small stars so could only do the large but that doesn't solve it alone. Agree about the binding but make it scrappy from the materials used or similar/same colours.The other idea are 'shooting' stars not with guns but with one colour or one colour variegated. So from the lime green star (not in a straight line) a curved line which would go under black centred star ending under orange star. Another shooting star from other side (prob go through grey star ending at the orange star. Just use favourite straight stitchm e.g. running. I'd try it out with air eraseable or brush off marker to see what yoou think. If go ahead then only outline orange star could use metallic threads to embellish further.

Or just thought would you fuse applique on amaller/tiny stars (same colours as used) to scatter making a milky way. I like white space but for some reason the area just needs some dinky stars for perspective also. These would go between quilting spaces.

Just some thoughts to get you going as I love the scrappy/wonky stars.

Not reading any of the other comments first- I would probably hand quilt an outline around each star, perhaps in the main color of the star to start. Then I would stand back and look to see if it felt "finished".

I really like it but if I were making it I would add a lot more quilting lines between the ones you have there - to get to about 1/2" apart, although I would go for slightly random spacing so that there is no issue of getting it exact between the lines in place. Adding a lot more lines and then washing after it is bound will give it a real textured look as well as make it very solid on the table. However, if you are going for a more airy look, then bind it and maybe hand stitch around the odd star and make a hand stitched star or two in the white space and call it beautiful.

It looks really great! I would maybe add an orange-ish hand stitch line around the blue sash on the white background (check on a colour wheel chart what the complementary colour of the blue is)? But I suppose it depends on your binding. I would also handstitch around the stars in white. But that is personal taste of course..
